lilrockfreek: The biggest tip I can give to you is to use foundation, and not just on your skin. Put it over your lips to neutralize the pinkness. Your lips seem to be the biggest giveaway that you're female.

So, I guess this just for fun since I always like to stalk this thread, so I decided to actually be active in my stalking. Can I pull off a girl or a boy? (No specifications, though I clearly know my own gender, haha.)

Dragonsfire867: You seem fairly androgynous to me, actually. A little male-making makeup would help, of course, to get you to look like a guy, and different hair styling would make you look more feminine, but you should be able to pull off both pretty well.

Well, okay. I can't help it - I'll post a few photos of myself from today. I tried on my first "complete" crossplay today. It's a bit of a rush job and I wasn't wearing any makeup since it was just a try on. For those wondering, I'm trying to dress up as Chip Skylark from Fairly OddParents.

For a reference of how I look regularly, you could take a glance at my avatar, or take a peek at my Sailor Mars gallery. Those are the best photos I have of my regular girl-self. XD

XD Thanks. I'm glad you like it and I agree! Fairly OddParents needs more love! It's kind of sad that the only character you ever see done is Cosmo and Wanda with an occasional Timmy thrown into the mix. I mean, FOP has several very recognizable characters (I'd love to see Jorgen be done by someone, for instance!). :P

Though, I must admit that Chip isn't a character one recognizes very easily since he's such a regular looking guy. In that handsome boyband-way. I'm fairly certain that when I take Chip out for a convention, I won't be recognized as a cosplayer by anyone, unless people start to realize I'm a girl under the beard. XD

So, to get back on topic...any tips on how I can make it better? More, erm, manly?
